The catechism of the Church of England begins with the question: "What
did your godparents promise for you at your Baptism?" Over the
centuries, millions of tiny Anglicans preparing for Confirmation have
lisped and stammered out the awesome answer that begins: "I would
renounce the Devil and all his works." A year ago, in a proposed
revision of the catechism, the Anglican Archbishops' Commission struck
out all mention of Satan. Young believers, the draft suggested, should
merely "renounce all that is wrong and fight against evil.''
